Morning breakfast, Internet checking, and necessary Tesco run before heading into the tube.
First stop, Monmouth Coffee!!!! YES! I love it here! Convent Garden location, as it was close to the National Gallery. Walked through to the National Gallery. V definitely signed up to go on the PC tour of London. Afterwards we walked through leichester sq and saw a Bollywood movie shoot. Passed Chinatown and into Soho for another coffee break at Whorebux. People watching, Toronto Loving, City bashing talks ensued. Then we wanted to go to Vegan routes… but it was closed/ Next location Mildred’s for some vegan burgers!!! Yummo! Sweet potato, Beet, carrot burgers with this yummy horseradish mayo. SO GOOD. I’m going back next time.
That means, walking through Soho to go to Oxford STREET! This was what I was waiting for my entire trip!!!!! UNIQLO!!!! TOPSHOP!!!! PRIMARK!!!!! 3 hours later, we stopped off at hyde park (speakers corner), and just rested. Decision… harrord’s or resting.
Pizza Express for dinner then made our way up to the guest house. For some reason I thought we were going to Victoria Stn…. Hahahah good thing I double checked again, as we were to get to Euston. I’m glad I got to go over to Wills the next before because I was more familiar with the weird way to get over there. We were early for the sleeper train up to Inverness, but that was fine for us. Better early than miss our 11hr train ride in our SLEEPER car!!!! Wooo wooo!~
Caught up on being anti-social with internet at Pret a Manger (owned my McD…. Gha!)
Into the sleeper train and onwards to SCOTLAND!!!! The sleeper cars have very narrow hallways, super narrow that there is only 1 way traffic. Introduced ourselves to this Aussie who was going to Cambria for a 700 mile bike race. SO COOL. I would want to try and ride over England , but for another time. The sleeper cars are great for PC sized ppl, but wasn’t BIG enough for V (had to sleep fetal stylz). Ridiculous fun ensued on the train, as always and I had a great night rest as we headed into Inverness for 8am.(BEST PART about blogspot -- it orients the photos for you!)
